How to remove tourer load space hinge

Robti · 15th August 2016, 10:26

Hi I'm stuck at removing the spare wheel load space cover, I have disconnected the light removed the clip from the strut but do I unscrew the screws from the hinge or is there a trick to it ?

Thanks

Mmmmm..... I'm also interested in an answer to this one. I looked at removing mine a while ago (for some job I have now forgotten), but gave up as it looked like I may never get is back together again.

I found it easier to remove the rear seat and undo from that end...

either way its a pain... and needs 2 pairs of hands

I found using a 1/4 inch ratchet & bit adaptor that it was possible to start turning the screw heads, then undid without the ratchet (as space was too tight)
Very tight to do this, but is possible

(Think the time before I used a screwdriver bit & a spanner)
Good luck

Chris
